As you can seem I'm still trying to figure out what it will take to get open source development to work on Apache XML As others have said, such solicitations don't belong on this list. But if you're serious about open source, you should probably start by reading Eric Raymond's essays on open source projects at http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/writings/. These cover things such as open source business models, and what motivates open source developers. These are "required" reading for anyone involved with open source development. Then, look around http://www.sourcexchange.com/, one example of a company that tries to make it easier to sponsor and recruit an open source development team. -Rob Patrick W.
